Welcome back for another edition of News Bits!  What is it you ask?  Well, the film world can get quite overwhelming at times in the news that releases.  Unfortunately some of this news is just too small to warrant a full article. Rather than deprive you of the news, we've created this section.  This week in news bits we’ve got posters, trailers, a new comic book movie inspired soda, and more!

The Movie Pool wears its underwear on the outside for The Avengers Animated Series Volume 4 on DVD!

The Movie Pool loves the Marvel-ous Avengers Animated Volume 3 DVD! Sorry, that's our best Avengers pun.

Promoting the upcoming Avengers: Solo comic book series, Marvel have released two new pieces of movie art featuring Captain America and Thor in what appears to be just two pieces of a much larger image.

The Movie Pool takes aim at the first-ever DVD of the 1992 film version of Captain America!

This past Summer was a big one for Marvel.  With two untested properties (Thor and Captain America) hitting theaters as a prelude to The Avengers, it was important for those films to succeed.  Otherwise they could lose much needed fans for their ultimate team-up movie.  And while they were big box office draws and did well critically, Marvel’s films are still falling short.  So I’ve come up with 4 ways Marvel can fix their films for the future.

I imagine at this point, most of America has seen Captain America. Well, not me!  My theater, in all its ineptitude, has decided to bring in Zookeeper for an extended stay rather than Captain America. So I'm stuck here, on the internet, silently watching as the masses fall in love with the movie.  But even though I haven't seen it yet, I know one thing for sure; Captain America does not represent America.  He represents patriotism, but not American ideals themselves.  For some reason or another, Captain America's superhero cohorts do a better job at representing the American ideals than the big, blue, boy scout himself.  While we're not exactly proud of it, here are the eight superheroes who better represent American ideals than Captain America.  These issues are prevalent everywhere...but when describing modern America, you would be hard pressed not to mention these issues.

The Avengers is a lot closer than we think and right now they are blowing up San Diego Comic Con. With the recent Spider Man trailer and all The Avengers news, it makes those rumors of Marvel not showing up all the more dramatic huh?

As a comic book fan you always fear when a comic book gets a newly announced movie. Will they adapt it correctly? Will the characters be the same? Will the story even seem logical in the characters universe? Newer movies have started to get it a little bit closer to home, but they still fail on some accounts. There are many reasons why this almost always happens, but money, franchise issues, and complexity usually play a role. Comics are known for having a very complex universe, but in return this creates some of the best stories in the world. Hollywood can’t handle that, and that’s why I have come up with 5 comic book events that will never see the light of day on film.

We all know an Avengers movie is coming out rather soon, next year actually. With that in mind plenty of Marvel fans are excited. Hell even I’m excited and I’m about as DC fanboy as it gets! However there are certain circumstances that are making me second guess the idea of pushing towards a grand finale before the show is even done. The Avengers are used entirely different as a comic book seres. They are the symbol of great new heroes and the first step used to lead into any major Marvel Comics event. However the film is simply coming out due to fan receptions and not because business calls for it, so lets look at the possibilities of its success. Or perhaps its possible failure.
